Property was in a great location downtown
Open communication with the owners if we needed anything. The process of checking in and out had easy to follow instructions and the apartment was very clean.
Great place to stay
Beautiful modern apartment with great views and in walking distance of many restaurants and bars! Very clean and had everything we needed! Really enjoyed this place!
A couple of girlfriends stayed here with me for a conference. It was super convenient to the convention center and a great alternative to hotel rooms. The condo was clean and well appointed. Very comfortable for our stay.
My adult son and I had an awesome time at this rental. It was more than enough space for us, beautifully decorated and thoughtfully appointed. In a great location walking distance to a lot of cool spots. The host was super responsive as well. You won’t regret booking this place!
The unit was very clean and classy. I love having a washer/dryer. Bathrooms were nice. Loved the close proximity to good places to eat and also the easy and free parking! We parked right outside the door and that was a blessing because it was so cold outside!!

We stayed for a weekend of wrestling at the Hy-Vee Hall. Easy to walk to the event. This property was super clean, cozy and the owners are super responsive! Thank you for a clean comfortable place to come home after all day in bleachers :)
The check in experience was challenging but after a phone call we were given excellent step by step directions. Property was very clean and just as described.
This apartment provided the perfect landing place for my daughter and myself as she prepared for a job interview in Des Moines. We were able to walk to restaurants and shops very easily. Perfect location in the East Village.
Our teen daughter had an event at Wells Fargo forma couple days. This was the perfect spot for us to rest and relax at night and during the day. Apartment was clean, comfortable, and had all the things we needed for a couple days. We all agreed we would stay at this location again.
We added Iowa as our 49th state visited, with friends from Iowa as our guides. Our Des Moines location was perfect. Close to downtown and the beautiful capitol building. We spent the evening on the patio, enjoying wine, pizza, conversation, and our city view.
This lovely condo had everything! And the location was perfect for our wedding. Very close to Wells Fargo Arena, Botanical Gardens and downtown. Lots of restaurants and parks, bike paths and a beautiful deck with the Des Moines skyline! I’d come back in a heartbeat! Thank you!
Everything was as expected. The check-in process was a bit cumbersome, but we figured it out pretty easily with assistance from the listing manager. Very nice and comfortable property.

Disliked: Check-in
Interesting. Good location.
Good location in East Village.
Check in process was made difficult because the apartment numbers did not match listing as they had been changed. Looked for correct number for about 30 minutes before calling.
My wife and I had a blast in Des Moines!! Here for a wedding. Stayed 5 days. The property is a perfect location!! We were able to walk almost everywhere! 8,000 steps each day.
The Capital, the Botanical Gardens, Fresko, Noce, shops and so much more!! All walking distance.
The place is as advertised! Great vibe! Fun place to relax and hang.We’ll be back for sure!
We live in the valley of the sun, Phoenix, and Des Moines had plenty to do that was amazing!
P.S. The owners of the property were great! Provided all information in a timely manner and checked in to make sure all was going well.Cheers to them as well!
"Our stay at this property was absolutely fantastic! The property itself was stunning, and the amenities provided were top-notch. We were truly impressed by the level of care and attention to detail that was put into making our stay special.
What really set this experience apart was the incredible service provided by Tiana, the property manager. When an issue arose that was beyond her control, she personally came to assist us. Her kindness and willingness to go above and beyond made us feel valued and taken care of.
We also appreciated Tiana's meticulousness in maintaining the property. The rooms were always clean and well-organized, adding an extra touch of comfort to our stay.
Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The beautiful property, top-notch amenities, and Tiana's exceptional service truly made our stay memorable. We would highly recommend this Vrbo property to anyone looking for a special and enjoyable getaway.
